.le all whom z .may cow/Gern:

Be it known that I, HERMAN F. NEWMAN, e citizen of the United States, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and Sta-Le ol india-nu., lieve invented certain new and useful lnniu'oveinents in DistributingNoz- Liles. of which the following is aspecification.

T here are conditions in rneny eases of een ilagration where it is desirable to project e. sheet of Waiter over or alongside a. surleeeou. structure. For example, in eases ef rires in hesenients, especially when oil or other in.w ilzinnneble nnLteriul is stored therein, it is of the greatest importance that esheet of waiter he thrown over the surface of the burning nur ferial und that the underside of the iloor overhead. he also drenched. In other eases where there are windows opening` on narrow streets or alleys from which the thune is bursting `it is ol great importance that :i sheet of water he thrown across such openings to 'protect ndjzu'ent property from. the Haines.

.it is the object of my inven tion to produce :t nozzle whieli shell he capable oile throwing numerous streams of Witter laterally, to produce suhslientiully u sheet ef 'Water ov u rensidernhle su'ri'ziee which muy he used in the situations and under the conditions above indicati-itl.

The eeeonipmiying drawings illustrate e spraying 'or distributing nozzle einhodyii'ig my invei'ition.

Figure l is e sideelevation of such e nezzle; Fig. 2, a (zentral vertical sectional View c thereof; and Fig. 3 a View similar to Fig. 2,
